>$10/mo. is incredible value for Netflix
Let's see what the price is when they are entrenched as a global monopoly with a vast catalog of culturally relevant content that you can't get anywhere else. It may very well act as Hollywood on steroids.
- cookiecaper 11y agoOf course it will. If there isn't adequate competition, every company will do this. If you have an executive in place who refuses to do it, the shareholders will fire and replace him. This is exactly why free markets that stimulate competition are extremely important. Our current copyright laws make competition very difficult, especially if you're not starting with a multi-billion dollar war chest.
- tajen 11y ago$10 sounds unsustainable for this catalog (heck, €8 in France for single-watchers). The expectable price is rather $30. That's just an initial promotion, the customer lifecycle value they are ready to extract should be much, much higher. Crunchbase tells us that the only investment was $36m. The rest is regular debt, $1.7bn! It just shows how much banks trust their business model. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/netflix#/entity https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/netflix#/entity
